This Privacy Policy explains how the Vancouver Prayer Times app ("we", "our", or "the app") handles your information. Your privacy is important to us, and we are committed to protecting it. In short: we do not collect, store, or share your personal data.
Information We Do Not Collect
The app does not require an account and does not collect personally identifiable information such as your name, email address, or phone number. We do not use analytics or advertising trackers.
Location Information
The app may access your device's location and compass (magnetometer) sensors to provide two features:
- Prayer Times — to calculate accurate prayer times for your area.
- Qibla Compass — to determine the correct direction of the Kaaba from your position.
Your location is processed on your device only. It is not stored on our servers, not shared with third parties, and not used for tracking. You can disable location access at any time in your device settings, though some features may not work correctly without it.
Internet Access
The app connects to the internet to retrieve up-to-date prayer times and Islamic event dates (Ramadan and Eid). These requests do not include personal information that identifies you.
Data Storage
Any preferences or settings you choose are stored locally on your device only and are never transmitted to us.
Third-Party Services
The app retrieves prayer time and Islamic calendar data from third-party public data sources. These services receive only the technical requests necessary to return the requested information and do not receive identifying personal data from us.
Children's Privacy
The app does not knowingly collect any information from children. It is safe for users of all ages.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated revision date.
